Single Sign-On (SSO) allows those with a university account to access UCM software or web applications through a single portal using their employee or student credentials - rather than needing different credentials for each separate application.
When accessing multiple applications at a time, a user may only be prompted to sign in through the SSO once in a session. A user may be prompted multiple times in a day if SSO has timed out or if they are using a new machine (ex. switching from a personal computer to a university machine). SSO is also used in tandem with DUO Multi-Factor Authentication.
The username (also known as a network ID or NID) is an account ID created for students and employees to access UCM systems such as campus computers, email, Brightspace, and WiFi. Employee and student credentials are different. Student workers should check that they are using the correct username and password when logging in through the UCM Single Sign-On page.
A UCM Username is unique to each user and passwords are set by the student or employee. Your username (NID) and password should be used in UCM web sites or applications configured for UCM Single Sign-on that prompt you for credentials. University passwords should be unique and should never be shared with another person. If a university account has been accessed by someone other than the account holder, please contact the Technology Support Center at 660-525-5386 or at tsc@ucmo.edu.
Once that first logon is completed, UCM sites and applications protected by UCM SSO will not prompt you. There may be variations to this depending upon the security requirements of the site or application. NOTE: SSO is dependent upon the browser you were using when you logged in. Changing browsers will prompt users to sign-on again.
When you attempt to access a UCM SSO protected site or application - such as MyCentral, Brightspace or UCM Email - the following logon screen will appear. Enter your Username (NID) and password. New students and new employees will need to complete the password recovery process to establish their password before they can log into university applications. Futher Account Help is listed below.
To enhance the security of your UCM account, the university employs DUO Multi-Factor
Authentication (MFA). This adds an extra layer of protection by requiring a second
form of
verification when accessing UCM systems such as MyCentral, Brightspace, and email.
For detailed, step-by-step instructions with visuals, please refer to the How to install and use Duo
Multifactor Authentication guide.
If you need to lookup your Banner ID (700#) navigate to Banner ID (700 Number) Retrieval and enter the required information. Your Banner ID will display on screen.
Usernames can be retrieved through the Username Recovery application. This will send an email containing your Username (NID) to a personal email address that is on record with the university.
If you have forgotten your password, you can navigate to Forgot Password and enter the required information. In order to reset your password, you will need to have a personal email account on file. Once you submit, you will receive a message in your personal email with instructions to reset your password.
To update a personal email address in MyCentral:
If you are unable to access MyCentral and your personal email address is out of date, students should contact the Office of the Registrar and employees should contact Human Resources.
SSO is being implemented in phases for core applications. Applications will continually be integrated. Below is the list of applications currently in SSO:
